JETS! Most definitely the JETS! Last season Mark Sanchez lead us to the playoffs, the team as whole, in my opinion, is just inspired and ready to go ALL THE WAY this time! I can feel it, they can feel it, my dog can feel it. It's just going to happen and I'll be watching closely. I'd LOVE to go see them tomorrow!

NY Football Giants will have the better record this year - FOR SURE!!!! Jet's have to play a tougher schedule due to making the playoffs last year. Gooooo Big Blue!!! Isn't blue a MetLife core color?? ; ).

I am a Giants fan but have to be real. The Jets should have a better record at the end of this season than the Giants. However, let's go Giants!!!! Excited that football season is back! SinghGurkaran@yahoo.com
